Summary
Catherine is many things, mainly a "Hero" and "Good Person" as labeled by Three Dog and a majority of the D.C. wasteland. Though that only came about because of fortunate circumstances, she easily could have become just as dangerous or "Evil" as any raider out there if not worse. But she avoids that nonsense simply by sticking to her list of "Okay" people to kill. Outcasts, Raiders, Slavers, Ferals, Mutants, Assholes.
Of course, there are some moments where that list is breached, but who's keeping track? Catherine isn't.

Summary
Before she became the monster the wasteland would whisper about, Catherine was kind. Gentle, even. She thought she could be a healer like her father, that she could hold onto something good in a world long since rotted. But kindness is a dangerous thing in a place like this, and mercy only lasts until the first time it fails you.
This is not a story of a hero. This is the story of how the Capital Wasteland broke a girl and built something else in her place. Of how a vault dweller, once afraid to pick up a gun, became a beast—wielding cruelty like a scalpel, learning that in a world of raiders, slavers, tyrants, and monsters, the only way to survive is to become something far worse. At least to them.
This is a rewrite of the original story of the same name, now broken into two halves. This story follows Catherine’s time in Fallout 3, from her first steps outside Vault 101 to the bitter end, including the DLCs. The second story will follow The Courier’s path in New Vegas at a later time.
